10 bucks is 10 bucks, savings are cool and if you can use 3g, I would say go for it. Maybe Turtle can answer this one or maybe you can Moot, can phone browsers use compression technology that some websites have turned on to save bandwidth thus saving the bandwidth on the plan?

Got to tell you that if you want an apartment on wheels (as I call anything like a 94" and bigger sleeper), then it may be hard to find. I drive another C unit every once and a while to cover a load for a customer. It has a 18 foot box and another small box on it for equipment. It is 40 feet...

Just because someone works for one carrier doesn't mean they don't see others fitting into another carrier with their experience at the other carrier or the knowledge they have about that carrier. I see a lot of people who can fit into FedEx and tell them that (not here of course) or see them...

Actually Bob, I mentioned that but the thing, even though Moot is right about the contract thingy, it is the communications from the start that went from the dispatcher to the customer to the shipper and back, no where was the driver in any of it. His frustration and his time should be taken...

You are so right :p

Welcome to EO Well first they are out there but you have to dig for them. I have to ask why a C unit? The allure of working for FedEx? I have one, may want to sell it in the spring but it is an earner without a doubt.

Hyper grounding? OK, what's that? Actually the GM will carry less than the Sprinter 3500 with a 9990 GVW. I wouldn't buy a new GM product, even with my discount, it is something I just can't bring myself to do.

You always have those idler pulleys replaced when you are having a WP or A/C compressor work done, same with replacing the belt. I have the link somewhere on my laptop Leo, I will post it when I find it. The key is to replace the parts at specific intervals to prevent breakdowns, like a WP at...

I guess it comes down to this, either you are in business for yourself or you are an employee. I understand your point Moot and agree that the customer is one who can cancel the run but I can tell you so can the carrier. Also in the real world this system that many work under is screwed up...

Solution to the money problems shouldn't be a worry about executing people, here are a few and some of these worked in the past without the problems that we have today. Rope - buy once, can be used a few times and is cheap. Bullets - cost for a 22 long rifle is pennies, Russia I think still...

Document the issue, and then get a lawyer to write up a request to the county. If they refuse, than go to court. If your parents have an accident because they refused to put up a sign, the lawyer can now sue the crap out of them for their negligence. We have a simular situation. We have...

It is Dispatch who needs to know what's going on by the people who are loading the truck, not through a third party. Dispatch has no reason to complain when the driver says it isn't going to move. The customer is paying for that van, then if there is not a load going to happen, then they pay...

The 30-40 Krag is a very good rifle but has a rather arced trajectory compared to the 30-06 - if you have one with the original sights, you will see the scale on the sight to see what I am talking about. These rifles were used in competition in the late 1890s to about 1910 with targets as far as...

I had to correct a lot of leaks that popped up when I took the air dryer and dash apart, I still have to tackle rebuilding the parking brake valve some time in the near future. The biggest leaker I found was the treadle valve, followed by the gauge connections and then the leveler valve in the...

Well see here is an issue, I am going to assume that there is a problem with loading the van in the first place for both runs, the second one does state that but the first is not clear about it. Maybe as mentioned by Moose (I think) there is a problem with getting a forklift on the ground to...

Of course you kept the old one?

Will the OOIDA and other organizations put up a fight? The rules procedure is not being followed for the medical issues either, the advisory boards are making recommendations and then the DOT is following them without going through the review process but just implementing them through their...

DPF has been available for at least 20 years, they are expensive here and only a few companies make them and offer them to the public. The simple solution is this - don't go to California. There should be a nation wide boycott of California and the our government who is quick to use the...

I heard somewhere LaHood mentioning that everything in the cab is a distraction and it should be all eliminated. This includes radio, CB, iPod, iPhone, GPS units, pretty much everything. It is like the sleep apnea issue, there is no data that supports the fatigue of the driver in an accident...

Do you really have to explain??
